How about staying in a former 19th-century hunting lodge, set in the heart of a 6-hectare estate bordering the River Mayenne? Just 5 km from Laval, the Pavillon du Ricoudet welcomes you to a lush, idyllic setting. This 120 m² detached house, situated around 400 metres from the Château du Ricoudet, can accommodate up to 8 people.
At the heart of the grounds stands the château, built in 1864 by Count Christian d’Elva. Its Italian-inspired neoclassical architecture and its location overlooking the River Mayenne make it a remarkable place. The owners, who live in the château, will be delighted to tell you about the history of the estate, its buildings and how they were built.
During your stay, you are free to enjoy the 6 hectares of grounds and their facilities: a tennis court, canoeing and kayaking with access directly from the grounds, table tennis, and fishing on the banks of the River Mayenne.
